What is oral thrush?<\/h2>

Do you have oral thrush?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

In short, oral thrush, or oral candidiasis<\/strong>, is an accumulation of yeast fungus in your mouth. The fungus that causes it is called Candida<\/em> albicans<\/em>. The Candida<\/em> fungus is naturally occurring. It is a harmless organism in your mouth, but the problem arises when it grows too much.<\/p>

Anyone can develop this condition, but babies and older adults are more likely to be susceptible, due to reduced immunity. People with suppressed immune systems or certain health conditions are also more likely to develop oral thrush symptoms.<\/p>

Oral thrush is rarely a problem for children and adults. However, it can be more serious for individuals who have decreased immunity, such as those suffering from cancer or HIV\/AIDs. Some medications can lower the body’s immune response as well. However, if someone suffers from oral thrush frequently, then he or she has an underlying disease or condition that is lowering their immunity, and it must be investigated immediately.<\/p>
